New Arca-Swiss Plate for Aussies!

[g_rustin]

Thought you guys might like to know this C32 that I bought in a shop during my holiday trip to Singapore, a very well made and very much cheaper than Wimberley from the states that works perfect for my Markin M20. I'm ordering the lens plate L-40 for my 300mm f4 Canon, hope it arrive soon.

Having the rubber surface makes a bit of sense for a generic camera plate (the Wimberley P-5 is an example) where you don't have a "lip" to provide a solid grip, but on lens plates where you have a lip at the back of the foot???

I suppose you can carve the rubber and glue off with solvent and a sharp blade in order to provide a solid mount to the lens foot though...

Nice but US$30 to here is steep postage.

Hi DaveB, you're quite right about the rubber surface, my buddy do have the P-5, somehow the surface of the P-5 looks very similar with my C32, both do proof to be very secure and tight when properly mounted.

The L-40 lens plate has just arrived, can't wait to test it out this weekend.

Hi Glen, true ... that's why I'm sharing the postage with my buddy who is getting the C32 for his 2nd body which make the cost of postage cheaper for me.
